There was a time when i would have argued that Sigur Rós was probably the best band in the world. Probably after i saw them live. Granted this was about 15 years ago and my subject sample was smaller, but the ethereal post rock band's often intense and emotional compositions could make my heart break or soar with nary a word of English (or sometimes even a discernible language at all) to be found. While my opinion of the band may not be quite as hyperbolic as it was in the past, i still think they're great, and that live performance i saw was one of the most fantastic i've ever had the pleasure of witnessing. Anyway, here's "Glósóli" from 2005's "Takk," a song that builds and builds until it swells and crescendos at its absolute breaking point, gorgeous and heart wrenching. And it's our Daily Jam.
